Excellent letter! I wonder when PP began proving "gender medicine?" When I first learned of this I was shocked. I was also shocked to see that this organization which has historically provided care almost exclusively to women, had scrubbed the word "woman" from their website. I assume this was done to avoid offending trans men, nonbinary or otherwise gender confused women. How ridiculous! It disgusts me. Never again will I donate to them.
Send help to Colorado! Two extreme gender bills just dropped that will devastate parental rights and enshrine self ID into law and make using someone’s non-preferred name or bio gendered pronouns legal discrimination. They dropped late late in session, just today, likely to avoid any push back nationally. Here are the links: https://www.leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1312
And HB25-1309-requiring all sex change anything to be covered by all insurance.
Well, it’s an interesting letter, I’ll say that, considering that it is written to an organization whose organizing purpose is “to kill unborn children” - oops, sorry, I mean “reproductive health”! I’m sure the threat of trans kid lawsuits must have them quaking in their boots. But actually I think they will just offer “reproductive health” and “affirming care”, harder. They are, after all, only in the business of helping people and that is just plain “kindness”.
I don’t think it can be legislated away. My observation was about the euphemisms we use to hide what we are actually doing; and the patina of virtue we cover it in, kindness as if it were a virtue. It is understood that only power is left in the wake of all this convenience; but how can we say that puberty blockers and top surgery for children are “problematic” if the killing of the unborn is just a function of the unlimited virtue of kindness? After all, gender affirming care is just more kindness, rightly understood.
I’m not trying to be vicious - how can I be (?) when the notion of vice is drained of all meaning and you, and the writer of the letter, aver that the only sin is unkindness, as we each define that for ourselves.
Kind of you to absolve men of responsibility for all this, by the way. I hope that you can bear the responsibility alone. These are the practical wages of power. I’m sure there are men who will support you fully in doing what you gotta do. Men can be ”kind”, too.
Good thing that we got rid of all the old rules, eh? Otherwise all the hard things you say, and all the hard things I say, might be construed as evil.
Oh, look! It’s April Fools day! May the blessings of whatever higher power designed this system be with you! Higher power bless!
An abortion performed in the first trimester should be legal, and WAS legal until Trump packed the Supreme Court. Many women benefited from these services provided by Planned Parenthood and other women's clinics. I don't like abortion any more than the next person, but every women should have the right to choose.
Abortion has always existed. There is absolutely no way to legislate it away. You can only endanger the lives of desperate girls and women by legislating away safe and legal abortion.
And men don't get to tell girls and women what to do with the insides of our own bodies.
We bear the responsibility for human reproduction, so we bear the right to decide how it happens.
If you don't like it, take it up with whatever Higher Power you think designed the system this way.
Thank you for sharing this story. People need to know about these places that encourage this evil death cult. It staggers me how any health care worker can perform these lies & harm in day to day & sleep at night! Yes we know it's all about the money but when did truth, morals & ethics exit the room for these people? I don't care if they are scared of losing their job or saying the wrong (right) thing just stop.......for our kids sake!!
I tried to post a comment to a WSJ article two days ago. The article lamented how PP is losing federal funds. My intended comment was going to simply be, “Why doesn’t this article mention that Planned Parenthood is the leading provider of cross sex hormones for gender-confused youth?” But of course, for that article WSJ had the comments disabled. There’s a real conspiracy to keep the public uninformed about what PP has become.
My child was brainwashed by a school counselor. I kept her un-medicalized along as I could. When she turned 18, she went to PP and got a prescription for testosterone in under a half hour, with no medical exam. Three years later, my child is now going bald, has a deep voice, sweats profusely and in unable to cry. Who knows what kind of internal damage in being done.
My kid was scheduled for a double mastectomy on 04/09/2024.
I wrote her a 7000 word letter begging her to delay the surgery. In the end, I was able to keep my child's body intact, but she is still on T and has not desisted.
I feel like I have been holding my breath for 8 years...
yes i too ended my support of planned parenthood when i realized what was happening. however, i don't quite see that transgender therapies are really a eugenic project.
when people realized, in the late 19th century, that our genes are an essential part of what forms us, they didn't then understand the role of the environment and epigenetics, even before conception.
so eugeneticists' concerns about ensuring healthy intelligent babies and adults, while rational, cannot be addressed without equal attention to poverty, environmental pollution, healthy diet, etc.
I wrote to them years ago and stopped donating. This is their mission statement:
Help people live full, healthy lives — no matter your income, insurance, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or immigration status;
Provide the high-quality inclusive and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care services all people need and deserve — with respect and compassion;
Advocate for public policies that protect and expand reproductive rights and access to a full range of sexual and reproductive health care services, including abortion;
Provide medically accurate education that advances the understanding of human sexuality, healthy relationships, and body autonomy;
Promote research and technology that enhances reproductive health care and access.
I fail to see how providing opposite sex hormones even fits with this mission. In fact, it contradicts it since it is the opposite of providing medically accurate information, actually can harm reproductive capacity, and fails to promote current research on transing kids.
This is a great example of how cognitive dissonance works. "Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon where a person holds two or more conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors simultaneously, leading to discomfort and mental tension." The dissonance is that we know that while PP claims to be about "reproductive healthcare," what they do is kill babies in the womb. Their brand of healthcare always harms women mentally and too often physically. They have no respect for life, no concern for women who are vulnerable, suffering, and confused because they are pregnant, so why should anyone be surprised when they have no respect for the life of those who are vulnerable, suffering, and confused about their "gender?"
It is first and foremost about the money with PP. Eugenics is just a bonus. They saw the handwriting on the wall expecting the overturn of Roe v Wade, and started filling their profit gap by prescribing puberty blockers and sex hormones. While remaining the largest single provider of abortions in the US, they have also become the 2nd largest provider of gender hormone therapies.
Please believe me when I say I am heartbroken for every person enslaved to the trans cult and every parent and family member who is suffering because of it. Truly, truly sorry for you all. But God's Word is true. He will not be mocked. We reap what we sow - later than we sow, and more than we sow. Those who support PP sow death. And here we are witnessing the death of relationship, the mental and spiritual death of someone we love, and too often ultimately their physical death.
It's the truth that sets us free, and the truth is that the only hope for deliverance and healing is Jesus. He came to seek and save the lost and promises abundant life to those who repent (change their mind) from rejecting Him and instead believe by faith that in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again, we can be forgiven and have eternal life with God. He would that none perish, but the decision is up to each of us. I pray that today is the day you ask God to help you and begin your walk into the light and out of the darkness of our enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. God bless you all.
please study some science. a zygote is not a baby.
the world has a major human overpopulation problem. we must manage our population and reduce it before we deplete the whole planet.
in addition, many, perhaps most, women who seek abortions are already moms and are thus well aware of what it takes to raise children. perhaps you are not aware. such women know that limiting family size ensures the health and welfare of the existing children whom you apparently care less about.
the turnaway study recently provided clear evidence of the benefits of controlling fertility and family size. so unless you are volunteering to spend all your time babysitting and giving money to poor families, i think you should just MYOB!!
It's the difference between life and non-life. DNA replication begins immediately upon conception with chromosomes combining to determine sex. Life begins. Dead things don't grow regardless of what you call them. That's important in the battle against trans, because sex is determined at conception, not assigned at birth. No one is born in the wrong body.
I care about children and families very much, or I wouldn't be on this site or spending much of my time and money trying to stop the carnage of the trans cult. Nor do you know what I do with my time and money helping poor families, but I understand why you lash out. I wish you the best.
Abortion has always existed. There is absolutely no way to legislate it away. You can only endanger the lives of desperate girls and women in poverty by legislating away safe and legal abortion. You like back-alley butchers? We don't.
Girls and women bear the responsibility for human reproduction, so we bear the right to decide how it happens. If you don't like it, take it up with whatever Higher Power you think designed the system this way.
But don't take it out on innocent girls and women. We suffer too much oppression in this world already.
i agree that nobody is born in the wrong body, altho those who are born with significant birth defects might disagree.
however, human overpopulation and fossil fuel addiction are damaging and degrading the ecology and the flora and fauna we absolutely depend on. we would be wise to care a lot more about the lives of other species.
This is a letter that indeed needs to be sent to PP. The question of why otherwise good people (and I think the people in PP are "good") do bad things has haunted me for years (as a therapy provider for gender confused kids). Here is my take. The people of PP, the professional organizations advocating gender medicine, the teachers and educators, all the therapists providing affirming care believe they are being "compassionate" in acceding to and wanting to alleviate the distress of their clients/patients; and this compassion obscures in their minds, any consideration of facts and science which to their thinking is exaggerated by gatekeepers who do not want to be compassionate by blocking the youth's desires. This human desire to be seen as "nice" and to see oneself as "nice" (when we are not of course, or at least not always) is ubiquitous in progressives and the helping professions which attract us "do-gooders" and serves as a way to disguise our human failings. Those failings are then projected onto those of us calling for some sanity in gender medicine and we become the ones who want to harm the youth. Thus, citing facts will never be pervasive; only self knowledge will.
Great letter. Not sure it will get read or even reach Ms. Johnson. I wish they could hear our voices and our pleas. "Please, stop harming our children!" Handing out puberty blockers, testosterone to girls, and hormones to boys is a crime! These children do not understand the effects these drugs will have on their bodies. I'd like to know if Ms. Johnson has ever spoken to a boy or girl who took these drugs, had top or bottom surgery, and then woke up one day and realized they had made a mistake? These brave young souls are called detransitioners. I doubt it. Does she care that they now have to live with their deformed and scarred bodies and the side effects from the drugs that Planned Parenthood gives out – for free! I wonder if Ms. Johnson has children. If she has nieces and nephews. Or any siblings. Can she for one minute stop and think about the harm PP is doing? Shame on Ms. Johnson, her organization, the PP board of directors, and all their employees. They are putting money before health, wealth before safety, and greed before lives. One day they will all stand before God.
PP has always been about eugenics. That's why they love murdering little babies in the womb. I'm sorry it took this to wake more people up to that fact. Why do you think they're in mostly minority neighborhoods? Eugenics. They have to rid the world of minorities and the disabled.
please study some science. a zygote is not a baby.

the sciences of physics, chemistry, biology and ecology indicate that we have to start somewhere in greatly reducing and then limiting human over population.
This still leans to controlling how many children someone can have, or euthanize some deemed not “good enough”, or weed the undesirables out. Those show no freedom for all.
Give it time, if the increase in same sex relationships keeps going, we won’t be able to reproduce as much anyway.
Or if we weren’t so coddled and had to work the land, fight off wild animals, then natural reduction would happen.
It just seems dark to think people believe we should control population.
You can't legislate away abortion. It has always existed, and it always will. In fact, God is the biggest abortionist in all human history, by an astronomical margin.
The Bible calls for slaughtering pregnant women and tearing their babies from their wombs. It calls for taxing the unborn as less human than the born. And it offers men advice on how to force their wives to swallow an abortifacient *just in case* their pregnancies are caused by other men.
That's what the Bible has to say on abortion.
Girls and women bear the responsibility for human reproduction. So we bear the right to decide how it happens. If you don't like it, take it up with God, who designed it this way.
God gave us that right. We will not surrender it to you or to any human government.
women have been controlling their fertility as best they can for millennia. if all women have effective conception control, that will likely suffice. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Please study reality. What is a zygote if not a human child?
You are defending an organization that has been responsible for countless killings
of human beings, that was designed to kill off certain segments of humankind.
Now they are destroying many young people by supplying them with cross sex hormones with absolutely no reason other than making money. If you are still defending Planned Parenthood to the people on this site, maybe you should just MYOB.
Well, a zygote is a pre-embryonic animal of any sexed species. So, no, it's not a human child. smh
If you're worried about the deaths of zygotes, you must be REALLY upset about miscarriages. God commits millions of abortions every single day with a free hand, and I don't hear you complaining about THAT.
You are defending violent patriarchal control over women's reproduction, which has been responsible for countless killings.
Girls and women bear the responsibility for reproduction. So we bear the right to make all the decisions about it. If you don't like it, take it up with the Higher Power you think gave us that right.
while the founder of planned parenthood may have shared the inaccurate eugenic beliefs of her time in history, i am certain that planned parenthood does not now support eugenics nor target a certain segment of the population.
Muriel, perhaps you should study science. You, the people you love beyond measure and, oh, the entire human race all started out as 2 cell zygotes. So, yeah, it’s the beginning of a human being. You’ve got to start somewhere!
the sciences of physics, chemistry, biology and ecology indicate that we have to start somewhere in greatly reducing and then limiting human over population.
Muriel, you are scary to think that we should kill off people to lessen our population. You first? This is a ridiculous scenario! Maybe you and Bill Gates should get together. That’s his thinking too.
LaDonna, you are scary to think that we should allow government to interfere between a woman and her doctor according to the right God gives each woman to decide what happens inside her own body.
It's almost as though you hate girls and women and just want men in government to control us and our bodies.
You and transgenderists should get together. That's their thinking too.
i think that the ways human overpopulation harm and degrade the planetary ecology will eventually reduce the population for us. we absolutely depend on a healthy planet for clean air and water, healthy food, etc.
and we also depend on all the flora and fauna without which we would be lonely and very hungry. there are physical limits on the amount of the populations of all species that can survive; the more people there are, the less room there is for all the other biology that we absolutely depend on.
Jennifer Block wrote a great article on Planned Parenthood for the Free Press. I think it is a great article to send to universities that are referring their students to PP. The universities should be put on notice that they are just as culpable for participating in unethical and dangerous healthcare by referring their students there.

You are defending violent patriarchal control over women's reproduction, which has been responsible for countless killings.
Girls and women bear the responsibility for reproduction. So we bear the right to make all the decisions about it. If you don't like it, take it up with the Higher Power you think gave us that right.
while the founder of planned parenthood may have shared the inaccurate eugenic beliefs of her time in history, i am certain that planned parenthood does not now support eugenics nor target a certain segment of the population.
Muriel, perhaps you should study science. You, the people you love beyond measure and, oh, the entire human race all started out as 2 cell zygotes. So, yeah, it’s the beginning of a human being. You’ve got to start somewhere!
the sciences of physics, chemistry, biology and ecology indicate that we have to start somewhere in greatly reducing and then limiting human over population.

Muriel, you are scary to think that we should kill off people to lessen our population. You first? This is a ridiculous scenario! Maybe you and Bill Gates should get together. That’s his thinking too.
LaDonna, you are scary to think that we should allow government to interfere between a woman and her doctor according to the right God gives each woman to decide what happens inside her own body.
It's almost as though you hate girls and women and just want men in government to control us and our bodies.
You and transgenderists should get together. That's their thinking too.
i think that the ways human overpopulation harm and degrade the planetary ecology will eventually reduce the population for us. we absolutely depend on a healthy planet for clean air and water, healthy food, etc.
and we also depend on all the flora and fauna without which we would be lonely and very hungry. there are physical limits on the amount of the populations of all species that can survive; the more people there are, the less room there is for all the other biology that we absolutely depend on.
Have you studied the latest population statistics worldwide?
It has been a few years since Zero Population Growth was relevant.
while fertility seems to have started to decline, population has not. ZPG is still relevant
Jennifer Block wrote a great article on Planned Parenthood for the Free Press. I think it is a great article to send to universities that are referring their students to PP. The universities should be put on notice that they are just as culpable for participating in unethical and dangerous healthcare by referring their students there.
